Dry Ingredients:

4 cups stone ground oats
1 cup almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup wheat germ

Place dry ingredients in a large bowl and toss until well mixed. Place coating ingredients in a medium sauce pan on stove top and over medium heat cook until sugar dissolves. Pour liquid over the dry ingredients and toss until well coated. Spray cooking spray on a large cookie sheet and dump mixture on the pan, spreading evenly.
